In the vision of scaling up HIV interventions, the PNLS advocates a health zone integrated package approach to ensure complementarity of services for prevention, care and treatment, and the continuum of care. The HZ health management (ECZ) teams are essential for long-term sustainability, achieving accountability through planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of interventions of HIV and AIDS.

As part of capacity building, these HZ teams need to be better equipped and trained for management.

To meet this need, WHO has supported the PNLS in developing a training manual for management teams of health zones focusing on the technical management of HIV/AIDS and a manual management training in the management of the NAP program. To date there is no technical reference document that can be made available to the provincial coordinator or another program that has just been assigned to organize work.

This project would provide a response to these concerns by strengthening the managerial capacities of ECZs oversee HIV/AIDS interventions in their respective health zones. This is a necessary for the success of other ongoing interventions concerning the strengthening of monitoring and data evaluation and procurement system for ARVs and other inputs and. To achieve this, building support for the provincial coordination and ECZS is essential.

Funding for Health Systems Strengthening (OHSS): $0

Illustrative activities include:

- Coordination of projects at the provincial level is enhanced

o Support PNLS and other GFATM sub-recipients in the development and implementation of work plan

o Support the establishment of a framework for dialogue around the MIP to track projects against HIV / AIDS

o Support the follow-up meetings of ARVs and other inputs at the provincial level

o Assess the performance of provincial Coordinations

o Provide technical support proximity (NPO)

- The managerial capacities of ECZS in the management of interventions against HIV / AIDS are supported
